THE PROBLEMS WITH INFINITY WAR : ISSUES, MELT DOWN, COMPLAINTS, SLOPPY, CARELESS, This Could Have Returned the Film Medium to the Top- Failures Listed.

Cap Beat Stark in 'Civil' but Infinity War writers, directors unable to see the value of this ( he throws 1 punch, block 1 punch- that's it!) or of a tag team reunion w/ Tony to take on Thanos

Wiping out multiple characters [even with their resurrection pending Avengers 4 time-stone rewind] diminishes the value of each character's demise...making every incineration meaningless...and of little value.  Loki's death kicked this thing off well...but when you take out too many there's nothing important about any of their ends since they'll all return...

Nobody pulled Banner aside, stood him up, and said it's now or never or we all die.  Stark leaving him behind, indifferent, going it alone "take the fight to Thanos."  I thought he had intellect- there's no plan, almost absolute certainty of failure- what w/ all that nanotechnology you can't make a phone call - makes for a great reunion w/ Cap if they could tag team Thanos.

Banner in the Hulkbuster w/ as much experience as some idiot on the street or even a scientist w/ no previous experience.

Hulk fights Thanos- who is fully armored up - after three seconds he turns coward, no desire to fight/smash...I don't know how you can fuck up the Hulk--but they did. It's bad, it's sloppy.  Hulk CGI looked weak and soft.  No round II.  [again, setting up Avengers 4].

The voice for Maw was high pitched and sounded too human.  Should have been deep , dark, and stirring.

Black Dwarf little dialogue, never speaks.  We never get Black dwarf/Cull Obsidian(renamed)  VS. Hulk -  what we really want to see.

Thanos' travel via portal unexplained- Steppenwolf had a boom tube.  Whys is Thanos' nose so TINY??

Scarlet Witch, most powerful Avenger, never has a chance to fuck with Thanos.

Soft Captain America vs. Thanos- that could've been a key climactic moment- Cap beat Iron Man in Civil War.  1 punch and 1 block is how you make a fight look dull - it   could have been a good exchange.

Groot/Rocket unweaponized...figure they would have a warchest, especially rocket.



The score was overly excessive - taking the need for a score to whole other level- there are plenty of moments when it got in the way, sounded like star wars, even the terminator.  OVER THE TOP.  No need to drench a film with music...use songs, sparingly.

Gamora stressing the importance of sacrifice...even going so far as to try and self-terminate...but when her half sister, Nebula, ( where the relationship is possibly mixed-even w/her as anti-hero) when Nebula is getting dissected and the fate of the universe is on the line, Gamora says "Fuck it.  Kill half the universe.  At least my sis Nebby will be alive.  The souls stone is three rocks over!"  Kind of contradicts everything.

Quill, who I enjoy, I think he is smart enough to wait for the gauntlet to come off.. then unleash frustration- could have been a nice opportunity to see Thanos try and overcome them without the stones...make him earn it.  Throwing the moon was great.

Absolute best moment, IMO, is when Thor shows up -after hammering in Thanos says " I TOLD YOU!  YOU DIE FOR THAT!"  What a great fuckin' line... shows these guys have the best potential in the world.  Wish they could've developed this longer - it really could've been something special.
